because im such a short arse I always look hideous in dresses, but this is so nice.

I know its not a normal bridesmaid colour, but the bride wanted black dresses with purple flowers, she is wearing white. Should look nice. (hopefully)

What colour shoes/bag etc do you think? silver?

OOh lovely! Really nice dress.
My friend wanted black dresses for her bridemaids but her Mom was very anti, we wore choc brown instead, which was lovely.

When is the wedding?

Not until August.

Lovely church (really old, quaint) and then reception in an old house with lovely gardens, the plan is to have garden party/bbq type thing. Weather permitting of course.

I really like the idea of wearing black.

I think it will look fab, was gutted when my friend "chose" Choc brown instead, but it was a lovely day and we looked good, well, she did!

Lovely dress

Just don't do what I did and suddenly become a pig as soon as i'd had the first fitting and then have to have it let out

I had black bridesmaid dresses - they looked very glamorous

Your dress is fab!

Its gorgeous!

I think silver shoes but check with the bride that silver is ok. Or some black peep toes?

A black bag - but tbh on the day my bridesmaids barely carried theirs and so I would just go with whatever you have.

I really love it, the material is lovely.

I think that the bride was worried about what I would look like in it ( I really am a dwarf) and I could tell she was releaved when she saw the hem line wasnt touching my ankles.

Think we are going for silver shoes, tiara and accessories.

Im so excited!!

IB- I cannot put any weight on, it fits perfect. I could do with toning my bingo wings up though.
